Abstract
The Goverment of Indonesia annually provides scholarships to 500 senior high school students to Java (Affirmation for Senior High Shcool Program). Papua is part of Indonesia, has a culture very different from Java. Adjust to a new culture can be very stressful, especially in challenging developments stages and adolescence. The purpose of this study was to determine whether specific personality traits of papua students would be associated with their psychosocial adjustment, and whether specific personality traits would moderate. The effect of personality traits on psychosocial adjustment were investigated in 106 Papua students in Central of Java (106 students, 15-19 years old). Several scales were administered: (a) Big Five Inventory; (b) social adjustment: academic; teachers, friends, weather and psychological adjustment (emotion, motivation). Results showed that, Extraversion, Counscientiousness, Neuroticism and Openness were predictors of psysocial adjustment (p<0.01; p<0.03; p<0,002; p<0.025). Agreeableness was not related to psychosocial adjustment.
